Recently, a conflict situation has arisen between Haryana and Rajasthan, the main reason for which is a viral video of a female police officer. This incident has not only created a situation of a ‘cold war’ between the police of both states but due to this, the roadway services have also been affected.
A video of a female police personnel of Haryana went viral on social media in which the woman was asked for fare to travel on the bus but the woman refused to pay the fare saying that she is a police staff. The argument between the woman, and conductor. Bus passengers also faced difficulties because the conductor stopped the bus and parked it on the side due to the policewoman not pay the fare.
The matter argument between the female constable of Haryana Police and the Rajasthan Roadways conductor reached the ‘Higher authorities’. Haryana Police probably took it seriously. Challans started being issued for all the buses of Rajasthan Roadways that were going to Delhi or Haryana. Challans were issued citing violation of various traffic rules including the driver not being in uniform, not wearing a seat belt, number plate not being correct. In two days, challans were issued to more than 100 buses.
Rajasthan police started issuing challans to Haryana Roadways buses. Challans were issued in front of the central bus stand at Sindhi Camp in Jaipur. Challans were issued to Haryana Roadways buses from Jaipur to other districts as well. In one day, challans were issued to about 100 Haryana Roadways buses.
After a woman constable insisted on not paying the fare in a Rajasthan Roadways bus and later her video went viral, action is being taken against hundreds of roadways drivers and conductors for violating traffic rules. The drivers and conductors who have nothing to do with that incident are facing the brunt of someone else’s actions. Currently, a heated debate has arisen in Rajasthan and Haryana.
